Ruins - Sentinel Chimneys

According to Frank Cousins, more than 10% of Salem's architecture was destroyed by the fire. He also remarked that homes more than 100 years old could be identified in the burn area by the massive brick chimneys that remained, standing "like sentinels" watching over the ruins.
